Vancouver Icons: Granville Bridge

Add a Comment by Rebecca Bollwitt

The City of Vancouver has announced that the Granville Bridge will be undergoing seismic upgrades throughout 2013. Beginning this month, expansion joint replacements will take place which will result in closures between 12:00am and 5:00am from March to November. There will also be daytime lane closures from June to October.

While the bridge itself isn’t much to look at, it does have quite a bit of history and its underbelly is frequently featured in photos of the city — making it today’s Vancouver Icon.
